CARL BAUGH

Carl Baugh born October 21, 1936 is an American young earth creationist. He and several others are known for claiming to have discovered human and dinosaur footprints together in rocks near the Paluxy River in Texas.
Baugh's research has put him at odds with other young earth creationists. His claims are completely rejected by the scientific community as pseudoscience.
Born in Kenedy, Texas, Carl Edward Baugh graduated in 1955 from Abilene High School in Abilene, Texas. Baugh presides over the Creation Evidence Museum he established in July 1984 in Glen Rose, Texas, near the Dinosaur Valley State Park. He also appears on a weekly Trinity Broadcasting Network show called "Creation in the 21st Century" and is president and Ph. D alumnus of the Pacific International University.
He has been given television exposure by the tele-evangelist Kenneth Copeland. He has authored several books on such topics as the age of the universe, dinosaurs coexisting with humans and critiques of evolution.
In his 1992 book, Panorama of Creation, Baugh claims that a layer of metallic hydrogen surrounded the early earth. Furthermore, he professes that hexagonal water, or, "Creation water" as he calls it, is capable of healing. Such claims were addressed by scientists as pseudoscience, and his theories and degrees are not accepted in academia.
Creationists such as Answers in Genesis have criticized Baugh's claims.
Baugh's claim to have found human and dinosaur footprints together in rocks near the Paluxy River has been proven false by various studies in several scientific discplines. Massimo Pigliucci, citing various research, wrote "there is no controversy surrounding the prints, only the creationists' stubborn refusal to bow to the evidence."
Baugh has claimed several degrees, at one point professing to earning three doctorates. One is an honorary Doctor of Philosophy in Theology from the California Graduate School of Theology. His 1989 doctorate comes from Pacific International University.
In 2005, Baugh completed a Doctorate degree in Theology from the Louisiana Baptist University.
Baugh is currently the president of Pacific International University, of which he is also a 1989 alumnus. The university is a member of the Association of Christian Colleges and Theological Schools.
